Pineapple Lily ‘Sparkling Burgundy’

Award-winning Eucomis commas ‘Sparkling Burgundy’ is a dramatic bulbous perennial with dense racemes of starry purple-tinged flowers, 20 in. long, borne on erect, purple stems in late summer. At the tip of the spike sits a rosette of young leaves similar to those of pineapples, hence the common name of Pineapple Lily. Rich of nectar, the flowers last for 6 to 8 weeks for the great pleasure of the pollinators.
